_ _ We've met, we've _ met, sad and all true _ love.
[Eb] _ We've met, _ we've met, [Bb] sad he.
_ _ _ I'm _ just _ returning _ from the [C] _
salt, [Fm] salt sea.
[Bb] And it's all for the _ love of thee.
_ _ _ Come _ in, come in, [G] my _ old true [Eb] _ love.
And _ _ have a _ [B] seat with _ _ [Bb] me. _
It's been three _ -fourths of a _ long, long year _
[F] since _ [B] together _ we _ [Bb] have _ been. _ _
_ I _ can't [Abm] come in [C] and I _ [Eb] can't sit [Bb] down
for a _ hell but a _ _ [B] moment's time.
[Bb] _ _ They say _ [Abm] you're married [Bb] to a _ [Ab] house carpenter
_ [B] and your heart will never _ be mine.
_ _ _ [F] _ I could _ have _ married the [B] _
king's daughter [Bb] fair
and she would have _ married _ me.
_ But _ I _ [G] _ _ forsaken [D] her [Fm] crowns of gold
and it's all for the _ love of thee.
_ _ _ _ Now _ will you [F] _ _ forsake on your _
[B] house _ [Bb] carpenter
_ and go _ along _ with _ [Bb] me?
_ _ I'll take _ [Ab] you where the _
[Fm] grass grows [B] green
[F] on the _ banks of the [A] _ _ Eder Reef.
_ _ [Bb] _ _ She _ picked _ up _ her _ little babe
_ and _ kisses _ _ _ [B] gave [Bbm] it three,
_ _ [Bb] saying, stay _ [Ab] right here, my [C] darling _ [F] little babe
[Eb] and _ keep your papa [A] _ _ [B] _
company.
_ [Eb] _ _ _ They _ _ had [Abm] not _ [G] been on [E] the ship [Bb] two weeks. _
I'm sure it _ was not three
_ _ _ till _ his true [B] _ love began to weep [Fm] and mourn
[Bb] and she [B] went most _ _ _ bitterly.
_ _ _ _ Are you _ _ [Eb] weeping for my [B] _ silver and my [Eb] gold?
Are you _ weeping for _ my [N] star? _ _ _ _
Are _ you weeping for that house [Abm] _ carpenter _
whose face you'll never [Bb] see _ anymore?
_ _ _ _ A _ curse, a curse to the _ sailor, she cried.
A curse, _ a curse, [Bbm] she _ _ swore.
_ You've [Eb] robbed me _ of my _ [F] sweet little babe
[Bb] that I never shall see no _ more.
_ _ _ They _ had not _ been on _ board three weeks.
I am sure it [Abm] _ _ was [Em] not four
_ _ _ until _ there _ [C] came a leak [Abm] in the ship
[Eb] and it _ sunk far to [C] _ rise no more.
[Eb] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
